What is the ideal mounting option for RDS or how could it be improved.
I saw where SA's new gun has multiple screw mounting options for direct thread mounts for RDS. Which is cool just like Sig has started to do. Now we do need to standardize screw size with maybe a beefier screw, but we can let that pass for now.
My only gripe with these direct mounts is the RDS does not fit snugly into the slide mitigating stress on the screws of RDS. Like you get with Langdon Tactical or Vulcan Machine Werks mount that uses a plate with rear sight. But what is cool is the RDS snugly fits into the mount, pops in tightly. And the screws have little stress IMHO. Now the plate sits higher than I would like but it "Werks".
I think would be ideal if they could figure a direct mount or direct mount option that had some type of a wedge that served to squeeze the RDS into place almost like a Lug on a barrel into a stock.
OK, my rant is over. I feel like they are trying to move into the right direction, but improving the discussion never hurts.
